Re: Brave
Went to see it yesterday afternoon, been waiting on this one a while and Pixar did not disappoint. Beautiful looking film, great characters and story (even if it wasn't quite what I was expecting), lots of laughs for children and adults a like. Truly wonderful. Also I saw in 3D and generally would choose 2D but Pixar are, in my mind, the only studio who understand how to use 3D properly, the depth of image on show here was brilliant (not their best but it still used 3D better than every other 3D film I've seen recently, except TinTin).

Re: Brave
We enjoyed Brave this morning, its quite a serious story for a Disney Princess, I didn't think the 3D was very well used or added anything at all and made some parts very dark, my niece chose to watch most of it without her glasses.
Charming enough but I don't think it will be one we'll revisit over & over.

Re: Brave
Here's my, uh, review...
http://ihyfm.fmuk.org.uk/brave/
Little bit chaotic in Soton as they didn't warn us the screening was in 3D. When the short started, half of a dozen of us bolted to the usher who gave us glasses (I was glad we didn't have to p*y), and who claimed that there were glasses laid on the floor. Definitely none in front of us, but some people already had them. Wouldn't be surprised, though, if a couple of people thought the projection was just blurry and sat through it...!!!

Re: Brave
I saw this last night and to be absolutely honest, as a Scot I wanted to love this, but in reality I was disappointed. It seemed they were so intent on the scenery they forgot to write a better story. It had lots of potential but was just...lacking.
Kevin McKidd as the young unintelligible clan son got a few laughs with his Doric accent. My grandfather came from the North East near Peterhead so I actually understood most of what he said, but I actually think not understanding him would have been funnier.
It looks lovely on screen and I'm sure it does sell Scotland.
I'm not the target audience of under 10 though :-)

Re: Brave
A decent Disney fairytale, but not really up to Pixar's high standards.
Plus, more than any other 3D film I really noticed how much darker it was with the glasses on, there were times I could barely make out what was going on.
Worth seeing, but defintely go for the 2D version. The only person who should have shades on inside is Jack Nicholson!
